BT did have cable TV operations back in the day (we're talking mid-90s at least). Whether they were subsumed into the Virgin Media behemoth I don't know.

There is one holdout IIRC, that being WightCable, who serve the shithole that is the Isle of Wight. However you are correct to exclude them, as much like everything else on the IoW they don't matter.

I must be in the minority, since I'd rather snap my cock in two then rub it in broken glass than deal with BT customer service ever again.

The actual ADSL service from BT has been alright. The customer service is fucking terrible. I don't care how shit Virgin can get, BT are worse.

Meanwhile, BT are not very good either. I have elaborated why here.

You may notice a lot of, shall we say, "psychotic rage". This is not an accident.

OS/2 is still in use today among many many companies.

He has contacted solicitors, and apparently none were interested in his case.

That's a brilliant suggestion, which I'll put to him immediately... cheers man.

A friend of mine had some twat post a blog on Google's Blogger, using their name and photo, impersonating them, claiming that they are the "number one pedophile rights activist" and other such things in that vein. He has been hounded by social services and questioned about it by his son's school (a picture of his son also features on the blog). If you Google his name, that blog is the first result.

This friend has now spent over a year trying to get Google to remove this blog. Despite being a clear victim of vindictive impersonation, and despite him REPEATEDLY faxing in copies of his driver's license and such as per Google's impersonation policy, it's still up there. And as previously noted, it has affected his wife and kid before, to the point of nearly getting his son taken away. And Google won't do anything.

Funny how when they're trying to launch a whole new social network, they suddenly spring into action.

My favourite one was when it suggested I make a photo album about muffdiving, which is frankly the best suggestion I've ever received.

Best thing ever: go to the WDYL thing and put in "sex" for double-entendre fun.

"Have a debate about sex!" "Find sex nearby!" "Watch videos of sex!"

Bonus points for doing it with "goatse".

Huh? I might be remembering wrongly, but I'm fairly sure my Kinect has a big green light on it.

Yes they should be horrified that the impractical toy guitar that was designed to fit inside their logo is impossible to play complex songs on.

I have to say, that is probably the most retarded website I have ever seen in my life.

With all due respect, I strongly doubt that the US Government are installing consumer grade OSes on nuclear plant machinery.

I doubt they're installing Windows in general on it. QNX or similar is more likely.

Something about transportation wants to be free.
